Rat Rod

I don't really understand the whole fascination with rat rods but I did think this 1964 Bel Air station wagon was cool to see. It would look better with a nice paint job instead of being made to look rusted don't you think?

You mean people made it like this purposely? What a world we live in!'

Re Cedar Key: It's about 75 miles west of Ocala...we take Hwy 27 to 326 over to 91 then north to 24. Then left at Otter Creek. It's 24 miles on a 2-lane road to the island of Cedar Key. What we like about it is that it is very much the same as it was on our first visit, the summer of 1988.

You don't have to wash or polish them. Seriously, I've owned my fair share of old cars which I have restored looking like as if they came off the showroom floor. I finally reached the point of leaving old cars as is for I fussed over them WAY TOO MUCH and worried about them getting dinged by a rock, people leaving fingerprints or just plain dusty and dirty. Once I began leaving them in their natural state I really then could enjoy having them. That was then; now I have nothing.
